Charvak Philosophy

Are you superstitious?

I strongly believe in ‘Charvak philosophy’. It is the most generic sense, “Indian Materialism” refers to the school of thought within Indian philosophy that rejects supernaturalism. It is regarded as the most radical of the Indian philosophical systems.

It rejects the existence of other worldly entities such an immaterial soul or god and the after-life. Its primary philosophical import comes by way of a scientific and naturalistic approach to metaphysics. It is an example of the atheistic schools in the Ancient Indian philosophies.

“Yavat jivet sukham jivet,
Rinam kritva ghritam pibet.”

As long as you live, live happily. Take debt and drink ghee (clarified butter). Conserve and nurture this body because if you lose it, you cannot get it back.

“Bhasmi bhutasya dehasya,
Punaragaman kutah.”

This body will be burnt on the pyre. Nothing will remain. You will not find any evidence of soul. This body will not come back. There is no evidence that you will be born again.
